I have a Compaq Pro 1GHz pc with Windows 2000 and an AC'97
built-in sound system. Some time ago the audio started
playing too fast and reinstalling the operating system
does not fix it. I have removed and reinstalled the audio
codecs, installed Media Player 9 and DirecX 8, but still
the problem exists. PLease advice what can be done to fix
this problem.
 
Francois,
It's uncanny. We seem to be having almost identical
problems. Did you install anything recently or rather,
just prior to the sound change? I thought that my problem
(posted just before yours today) was caused by a change in
CD's and/or software, but your post is giving me pause.
 
Check your Audio Drivers. I saw this problem (we called
it the "chipmunk talking" problem) with some Dell PC a
couple years ago. We had to upgrade the audio drivers as
I recall.....Rob
 
Should be solved by reinstalling your sound drivers, see message:
